SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, a XML based format) is not supported natively by ConTeXt. If you need a supported vactor graphics format, try MetaPost (and MetaFun).
There is a workaround, though, using InkScape to convert SVG to PDF. Inkscape must be installed and callable (i.e. in your PATH):
\usemodule[res-08] \setups[rl:manipulate] \setupexternalfigures[location=local,directory=.,conversion=pdf] % lowres,prefix=lowres/] \starttext \externalfigure[svg/sample.svg][frame=on] \stoptext
